[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can’t live on $6k a month for just you after you’ve paid for housing? What are you spending all that money on? [/quote] +1. It's really easy to be very spendy in DC -- people drop hundreds on meals, concert tickets, sporting events, drinks, ubers, manicures, hair appointments, clothes, etc. without a second thought. It all adds up. I have no problem if someone who is single and making $350K wants to live the good life on entertainment, but at that income, they can't have it all so if they want the $1.5 million house, they need to cut expenses.[/quote] And I'd wonder why a single 31+ would want to live in the burbs and give up that life (until they are married/have kids). So save 50% and continue to enjoy city life. But you cannot have both. And I'm not sure why you'd want the $1.5M home over that other life. Buy a TH/Condo and continue to enjoy life.
